My car broke down on my way home yesterday. I was about 8 cars back from a traffic light on a 2 lane road, with an additional turn lane on the right and the left. (so it's a total of 4 lanes, and a little median thingie between one of the lanes and the left turn lane, all going the same way). I was in the right lane going forward, so blocking traffic which I hated. This happened shortly after 5pm, there was no shortage of other cars, and the light changes pretty frequently, so cars stopped around me every few minutes. (busy intersection)
I eventually got the help I needed moving my car over to the side of the road, a police officer came to flash his lights behind me so I wouldn't get hit, and my husband came to help get my car moving again.
The contest today is to guess a few things:
- How many cars stopped to see if I was OK.
- How long until someone offered help to get me to the side of the road.
- How long my first call with emergency roadside assistance lasted before they asked me if I was blocking traffic and told me to call 911 to get police.
yes, you read that correctly. I called roadside assistance, but then my husband was able to come help so I landed up not using them.
Rules:
- DBAD (not having faith in humanity doesn't count towards D status ;) )
- Have something $10 or under (either prime or free shipping) on your wishlist
- amazon.com only please
- Winner will be the person who is closest on all 3 questions. (questions 2 and 3 are to the minute)
- Contest closes sometime after 1am Eastern Sunday, 2/28.
- Summon a friend or stranger to guess, too!
